Highly endangered Sociable Plover but otherwise quiet

The weekend was relatively quiet for new migrants but the weekend was made rather special with the observation of a single Sociable Plover at Buri. Found on recently ploughed ground I spent hours waiting for the bird to move into a position where I could get some reasonable photographs, which proved to be worth the wait.

Jasra, a small flock of Grey Hypocolius was found early on Friday morning unfortunately badly placed for photography

Grey Grey Shrike - more numerous this year than last this one from Dumistan

Pied Wheatear still very common with many not having having moved on as yet
